There was Il very fair inquiry FOR the best
grades of milling wheat but the offerings
contained so much low grade stuff that trad
ing was not active. Sample tables were not
well supplied, and larger proportion than
usual were empty. Hard wheat brought
about the prices of the day before but low
grades were shade lower. Receipts
amounted to 500 cars and shipments I09.
Duluth reported 262 cars. Local millers are
becoming a trifie more active as buyers.

FlOur-The Market Record says: There was
n steady movement in flour to-day and ship
ments were distributed about the same as
usual throughout this country. The latest
foreign reports show little improved feel
ing there, but prices are not up to values
here and few new contracts are beidg made
for export purposes. Now that foreign mar
kets show start it is not improbable that
wi
take new contracts from here. 1t is quite in
frequent that so many country mills run as
going now. The excellence of domestic de-
mand for flour is remarkable ana to be ac-
coumed for mainly by the very low condition
of stocks at the beginning of the crop year
with the high prices of corn, potatoes and
some other articles that when cheap take the
place of bread. Patents, sacks to local dealers,
